Also, he was humble enough to take order from his supervisors and to learn from his coworkers. Although he faced a lot of discouraging challenges, he had a strong personality to overcome those challenges and to be where he is now.

Finally, people who have a dream but who afraid to start from the beginning can learn from the challenges and success story of Marcus
